Question Re: 2014 FRC Game Breakdown

Did you ever get a certain and precise answer to this question?

We did some math to calculate it:

The trick was figuring the width of the LOW GOALS, which we finally deduced as a 29" opening + twice the width of the posts, which appear from the drawings to be 1.75."

So the GOALIE ZONE dimensions are (we hope):

WIDTH = Width of field - 2*(width of low goals)
= 296" - 2*(29"+1.75"+1.75")
= 231"

DEPTH = Depth of LOW GOAL box = (29+1.75+1.75") = 32.5"

BUT BUT BUT--- Does that sound right to you?
